Abu Dhabi, the
extraordinary capital of the United Arab Emirates has started to receive a
little media coverage of late. Might I dare to say it, however, the
city-emirate is not withstanding, beginning to take a little part of the
spotlight from Dubai. The recognition is basically because of the recent
opening of a titanic mosque devoted to the late President &founding father
of the country, Sheik Zayed – a mosque which a few scholars have equated to the
great TajMahal, in India!
Earlier to this there
was the launch of Fourteen and Half Billion Dollars Saadiyat Island cultural
zone gloating a Guggenheim art gallery (designed by Canadian-born American
architect Frank Gehry), that's destined to end up as the world's biggest
Guggenheim, as well as a wing of Paris’Musée du Louver (whose designer is Jean
Nouvel, of France, the legendary architect), in addition to some breath taking museums.
Thereafter it was Abu Dhabi getting included to the Formula One Grand Prix
circuit, the launch-race happening in November.
How things change… When
I initially shifted to Abu Dhabi over two decades back there were very few
individuals who could put it (or Dubai so far as that is concerned) on a MAP!
Be that as it may, the hilarious thing is, regardless of all these electrifying
new attractions and events, the things which despite everything I note are
highly engaging of Abu Dhabi are the things I have all the time cherished about
the city. Here they are:
One Reason To Adore Abu Dhabi – It’s a Stunner
Abu Dhabi is lovely.
It's a truly appealing city and this is the factor that amazes all vacationers.
The presence of high-reaching skyline of gleaming towers that mirror the
sparkling ocean. What's more, the city is flanked by ocean (in fact it is a
true-blue island) that is a translucent, turquoise colour. The shorelines gloat
the finest grains of white sand, & nearly all are fringed with date palm
trees.
A beachfront promenade,
the Corniche, extends the length of the city, giving an extraordinary vantage
ground to appreciate the impressive skyline.
Two Reason To Adore the City –The Corniche
My beloved part of the
city, the beachfront promenade merits a personal entry. This is the place
inhabitants emerge to have fun in the cooler months – and even during muggy
hotter months. Be that as it may, it's winter when the air temperatures flitteraround
the low 20s Celsius (high 60Fs) as well as in spring and fall touching a high
of 20Cs ---(high 70Fs and low 80Fs), that the Corniche experiences the bulk of
the action.Right on the crack of dawn till deep into the night, both residents
and expats are out running, walking, picnicking, taking pictures,
rollerblading, skateboarding, strolling their canine across the Cornice.
Three Reason to Adore the Capital–It is Laid Back
Dubai might posses the megalopolis
attractiveness, yet regardless of resembling a metropolis, Abu Dhabi has the
country town appeal. Sun-splashed Abu Dhabi's carefree way of life and easy-going
mindset has all the time been the key draw-card for emigrants. Migrants were
living here much sooner than sightseers began visiting Dubai to ogle at its
seven-star Hotels, momentous shopping arcades, and toss snowballs at its indoor
ski park. Aside from Abu Dhabi's unending daylight, is the reality that there's
little to do but soak the sunbeams, loll on the pristine sand shorelines, swim
in the lukewarm waters, excursion and Barbecue in the numerous parks, and drive
out to the Dubai desert for a bit of R&R.
Four Reason to Adore the City – The Architectural
Design
It's a very nicely
planned place with wide boulevards and traffic which streams openly. It's a
breeze to navigate and simple to get around, particularly on a sightseeing of Abudhabi Tour with Alt Dubai through the capital. Whereas Dubai is a
sprawling chaos of a city with a messy old center and suburbiawhich have sprung
up suddenly, subtly inching into the encompassing desert,Abu Dhabi was a place
that was planned for development from the beginning.The place have an urban
outline mimicking Manhattan.
Five Reason to Adore Abu Dhabi -- Community
tradition is alive
The natives in the city
are profoundly given to their conventions – & they are clinging-on tight,
& this is the thing that we adore about the place. The city have a rich
culture of community traditions established in their Bedouin legacy and Islamic
faith, similar to their custom of Arab hospitality,& they have done very
well to conserve them.One example is their traditional attire: not at all like
Dubai where local children tend to wear Western garments, in Abu Dhabi the
folks dress up in crisp white dishdashas& checked gutras&agals, whereas
the young ladies wear exquisite black abayas&shaylahs.
Six Reason to Adore the City –A Thriving Art &
Culture
More erudite and somber,
Abu Dhabi has consistently been the more sophisticated, arty, cultured kin to
Dubai. The city has unfailingly been keen to safeguard its culture and legacy –
they all the more have a Nabati Poetry Foundation! – but at the same time it
has been quick to see cutting edge and contemporary art thrive as well, much
sooner than Saadiyat Island's smooth new art galleries got planned.

7 Reason to Adore the Capital --- The Cultural
Foundation
The place has been Abu
Dhabi's creative, literary and cultural hub for more than 3 decades.An
impressive structure in the middle of the city, ringed by shady parkland, it
features the national library and archives, a presentation area, art workshops,
plus a huge assembly room that has since a long time ago facilitated a
vivacious nightly performance of classical music, theatricals, ballet dancing, folk dance &
song, asides from poetry renditions.Wander about and sneak a look at the glass
cabinets showing Islamic craftsmanship, calligraphy, customary musical
instruments, and intriguing ancient black and white photos of the pre-oil Abu
Dhabi.
8 Reason To Adore the Capital --- Heritage Village
Standing on a delicate
white sand shoreline which overlooks the purplish blue ocean and the impressive
skyline, the magical Heritage Village offers an understanding into life prior
to the finding of oil. While you can meander around and glance over replicas of
a barasti house, a little souq plus old mosques, take a camel-ride in a Bedouin
campsite, and view artisans beating metal plates of brass, weaving on
conventional looms, glassblowing, the high spot is its affectionate yet
captivating fort museum. Catch a glimpse of traditional Bedouin outfits and
jewelery, khanjars, and a whole host of things.
9 Reason to Adore the City --- Quasr al Husn
Within the lush gardens
of the Cultural Foundation, the palm-lined patio gardens of the charming white
fortress Qasr al Husn is a stunning spot to stroll at daybreak or late evening.
Enter through the amazing passage adorned with beautiful Portuguese tiles – in
the event the grand wooden doors are shut, make your way through the little
entryway spiked with iron nails.Inside the fortress is a labyrinth of rooms
adorned by painted reliefs of peacocks, blossoms and Islamic chirography, and
linked to long galleries with mashrabiya screens & doors with wood
carvings.
10 Reason to Adore the Capital –Heritage Corner
The place is a piece of
the AbuDhabi Cultural Foundation. Although very small, I believe
it's somewhat special. Highlighting a customarily embellished Bedouin tent
exhibiting camel bags, pillows and rugs, the Corner has awesome traditional
village crafts available to be purchased.The young Emirian hosts would drain a
min cup of the cardamom flavored coffee from an embossed brass pot – it's civil
to accept 3 cups and tilt the mug lightly, crosswise when you're satiated –
also you could gaze at the Emirati women, whose faces are hidden behind
intricate gold or black burqa.
Furthermore you would
watch talli, an embroidery style for crafting gold and silver ribbons that
adorn kandorahs (loose outfits donned at home), besides saddu, a weaving method
to create the bold striped rugs and camel rucksacks. The above compiled list of
things iswhy we love Abu Dhabiand die to take a memorable Abudhabi Tour.
